Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 21, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how IconCar.com ("IconCar," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit https://iconcar.com (the "Site"). IconCar.com is a content blog dedicated to the limited-edition metal automotive sculptures of artist Antoine Dufilho, publishing articles on car history, sculpture techniques, materials, and art exhibitions. The Site is available in multiple languages and is supported in part by advertising. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect two broad categories of information:

  • Information you provide directly. When you use our contact form or email us, we collect the details you submit, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message.
  • Information collected automatically. When you browse the Site, we and our service providers automatically collect certain technical information through cookies and similar technologies, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, language preference, and the date and time of your visit.

2. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies (such as web beacons and local storage). Cookies are small text files placed on your device that help the Site function, remember your preferences (including your chosen language), measure how the Site is used, and support advertising. Some cookies are set by us ("first-party cookies") and some are set by third parties such as advertising and analytics providers ("third-party cookies").

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and you can set your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable cookies, some parts of the Site may not function as intended. See our Cookie Policy for more detail.

3. Advertising and Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on the Site. In connection with this advertising, please note the following:

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and to other websites on the internet.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) enables Google and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the internet.
  • Third-party vendors and ad networks may also use cookies to serve ads on the Site based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings (https://www.google.com/settings/ads). You may also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices, operated by the Digital Advertising Alliance. For users in Europe, additional controls are available at www.youronlinechoices.eu.

To learn more about how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services, and about the cookies used by Google advertising, please see Google's Privacy & Terms at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and Google's advertising information at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Opting out of personalized advertising does not mean you will stop seeing ads; it means the ads you see may be less relevant to you.

4. Analytics

We may use analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors interact with the Site (for example, which articles are most read and how visitors navigate between pages). These services use cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze usage information on our behalf. This helps us measure the performance of our content and improve the Site. For more information, see https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can opt out of Google Analytics using the browser add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

5. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Operate, maintain, and secure the Site and its content;
  • Respond to messages you send through the contact form or by email;
  • Display and measure advertising, including through Google AdSense;
  • Analyze traffic and understand how the Site is used so we can improve our articles and features;
  • Remember your preferences, such as your selected language; and
  • Comply with applicable legal obligations.

6. How Information Is Shared

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in limited circumstances, including with:

  • Advertising partners, such as Google and its ad-network partners, in connection with serving and measuring ads;
  • Analytics providers that help us understand Site usage;
  • Service providers that host or support the operation of the Site; and
  • Authorities or other parties where required by law, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.

7. Third-Party Links and Services

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, exhibitions, auction houses, or resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external site you visit.

8. Consent for Users in the EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and equivalent UK and Swiss data protection laws. Consistent with Google's EU User Consent Policy, where required by law we obtain your consent before storing or accessing non-essential cookies (including advertising and analytics cookies) and before using your information for personalized advertising.

To obtain and manage this consent, the Site presents a consent management mechanism (a cookie consent banner) that lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time, and withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. Where we rely on a legal basis other than consent, we do so on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating and improving the Site, or to comply with a legal obligation.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, and to data portability. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Analytics and advertising data are retained in accordance with the retention settings and policies of the respective providers.

10. Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
